Gilbert Acupuncture

Acupuncture originated in China over 2000 years ago. The word acupuncture in itself already describes the therapy, as it means to puncture with needles. In a typical acupuncture therapy session, skinny needles are inserted into the skin at certain acupuncture points.

The reasons behind this is that by inserting those needles at certain points of the body, blocked energy pathways (the meridians) are relieved of their blockage and energy (the Chi) is allowed to flow freely and to rebalance. An experienced and formally trained acupuncturist can perform therapy with needles that is practically pain free. Bodyworkz is proud to be providing Gilbert acupuncture treatments in our office.

About Us

Dr. Janeen Wallace performs every acupuncture therapy in our office herself. She has extensive experience with administering acupuncture treatments and is a board certified acupuncturist by the State of Arizona. Additionally, she is also a fellow of the International Academy of Medical Acupuncture. Here at Bodyworkz she enjoys administering pain reducing acupuncture treatments to help patients suffering from migraines, chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting, back pain, fibromyalgia and many other painful conditions.

Acupuncture Treatments

Bodyworkz offer traditional Chinese needle acupuncture, or if you are a bit squeamish around needles, you can opt for a needle-free acupuncture treatment. Instead of needles Dr Wallace uses “teisheins” which are tapping needles that don’t puncture the skin but are as effective as needles if used properly. If you opt for the traditional needle therapy, your acupuncturist will insert the skinny needles into certain points on your body to rebalance your energy flow and aid pain reduction. Talk to your acupuncturist about the best treatment plan.

Electro Meridian Imaging

Electro Meridian Imaging has been the standard of identifying acupuncture points in the body since the 1950ies. By aid of a computer Electro Meridian Imaging, or EMI for short, your practitioner searches for and detects blocked meridians in your body. The Ryadoraku evaluation has replaced the pulse evaluation, where the therapist searched for blockages by measuring different pulses. EMI is much more accurate and faster as well. Dr Wallace utilizes EMi for her Gilbert acupuncture therapy patients to ensure maximum benefit of the treatment.

If you are suffering from pain that cannot be managed by “regular” pain medications or pain therapy, we invite you to schedule your next (or maybe even first) acupuncture therapy session. If you have any questions or concerns, please call our office or ask Dr Wallace before your appointment.
